Ronde van Vlaanderen: Next on the Road

The next group on the road was being lead by a three time former winner of this race, Fabian Cancellara (Trek-Segafredo). Tucked onto his wheel was the Dutch Champion, Niki Terpstra (Etixx-Quickstep) and two riders who had been in the early break, Imanol Erviti (Movistar) and Dimitri Claeys (Wanty-Groupe Gobert). Cancellara was hoping to become the first to win the Ronde van Vlaanderen for a fourth time. He has announced that this will be his final season of racing, so it is now or never, if he hopes to set a new benchmark in Flanders.

This is a small original watercolor and ink painting that was created using Yarka St. Petersburg watercolors and Steve Quiller brushes from www.richesonart.com. Plus this painting and all of my cycling art is available at my website, www.greigleach.com. To purchase this particular painting, just follow the direct link at the end of this post. Don't delay, as the painting is an original work of art, it is first come first served.

Be sure to check out my most recent book, Art of Cycling: Richmond 2015 UCI Road World Championships. It is available internationally through most online bookstores, and at www.artofcycling.bike. Or you could ask your local bookstore to get it for you.
